Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series?
101, 182, 118, 167, ?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. 131
Given series: 101, 182, 118, 167, ?
The series follows this pattern:
101 + 92 = 101 + 81 = 182
182 - 82 = 182 - 64 = 118
118 + 72 = 118 + 49 = 167
167 - 62 = 167 - 36 = 131
So, the next term in the series is 131.
Hence, the correct answer is 131.
